Instructions

Step 1: Make the Crepe Batter

Step 4: Cook the Crepes

Tips

• Let the batter rest to create tender, flexible crepes.

• Fresh mozzarella gives a rich, creamy melt, while low-moisture mozzarella creates less liquid.

• Drain the spinach well to prevent soggy crepes.

• Add sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions, or roasted tomatoes for extra flavor.

• Serve with a crisp green salad or roasted potatoes for a complete meal.
